Our host Nicole was very responsive, the place was just as pictured, clean and convenient to restaurants, coffee shops, quaint stores and even a Christmas street fair.
This property is perfectly located for anyone with a student at Swarthmore college. It is easy walking distance to the campus, has access to SEPTA less than 5 minutes away, and is in the middle of the charming downtown area. There are also a variety of shops and restaurants immediately accessible on foot. The property was clean and the host replied immediately when we had a question. We will definitely book again!
